So many Permaculture Design Courses (PDC) are nothing but money making ventures for opportunists. Because of this, I didn't care for permaculture until I discovered Geoff Lawton at http://www.permaculturenews.org/.

Geoff's video GREENING THE DESERT instantly turned me into a permie. I know good people when I see their work.

I also know SPAMMERS when I see their SPAM.

On 11/26/12 philipjhonson553 spammed my Yahoo group with an ad for Permaculture Design Training. I posted to the group several questions about this OVERPRICED course containing FALSE advertising.

Instead of answers, I got another SPAM from Permaculture Design Training for a free ebook.

I tried to get the book at their site, they got my email address and I got nothing. Their SPAMS and my followup post with questions about their false advertising are posted in their entirety below.

The SPAMMER's profile http://profile.yahoo.com/y/pulse/philipjhonson553 did not exist when I checked today — typical for SPAMMERS.

Today I received this email from Vladislav Davidzon :
